Ignatious of Guinness and Poker has put together a tournament for blog writers and readers, this Sunday at 9pm Eastern time. I am about 90% sure I will be playing in it at this point, and will know for sure by tonight. It's only a $20 buy-in. I'm not sure if the exact format, but I assume it is NLHE ( Read more... )

Here we go with Friday, Day 3 of my Vegas Trip Report. It’s, uh, pretty long . . .
